The lecturer who came to teach Yinzhi today was Dahata.

He was born in the Manchu Plain White Banner and rose to the rank of Minister of Personnel. He is already over fifty years old this year.

This is a rare old age in this era.

He was actually not very willing to give lectures to Yinzhi.

He even refused to be Yinreng's lecturer.

Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, being the prince's teacher is a prestigious position and his future is limitless.

But only those who are in it understand the pain.

Kangxi did not care about the friendship between teacher and student at all, and did not allow the prince to learn their ways of doing things and moral standards.

They could only teach the prince what was in the books.

Before teaching, they even had to kneel down and kowtow to the prince.

They treated the "Heaven, Earth, Emperor, Parents and Teachers" that had been engraved in their bones since childhood as a joke.

"Your servant kowtows to the eldest prince."

Dahata knelt down and paid homage to Yinzhi.

Yinzhi was not surprised by this.

"Get up."

Dahata got up from the ground, and the day's lessons began.

Yinzhi was already fifteen years old and had learned most of the classics, but in order to compete with Yinreng, Kangxi instructed several people to let Yinzhi learn whatever Yinreng had learned.

As soon as Dahata opened his mouth, Yinzhi realized that what he said was somewhat different from what he had learned before.

But Yinzhi couldn't tell exactly what the difference was.

He had outstanding talents in riding, archery and military affairs, but in other areas, he was completely confused.

According to the standards for teaching the crown prince, Dahata needed to thoroughly explain the content, meaning, and impact of the article to Yinzhi, and he must also let him understand what he should do to achieve better results if he encountered the same thing.

And this is exactly what Yinzhi found most difficult to understand.

Dahata didn't dare to lose his temper and could only teach over and over again, but until the end of the morning class, he still couldn't teach Yinzhi.

But it was breakfast time, and we couldn't stop the prince from filling his stomach, right? So after watching Yinzhi leave, Dahata sighed and went to eat breakfast.

The place for breakfast was in the middle of their classroom. When Yinzhi went there, Yinreng had already started eating.

In order to avoid Yinzhi finding fault later, Yinreng even sent someone to inform the imperial kitchen to prepare two identical meals.

At this moment, Yinzhi had not yet recovered from Dahata's earnest teachings, so when he saw Yinreng, he did not say anything, but sat down in his seat silently, picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

Yinreng was very satisfied with Yinzhi's performance today.

"That's right. Otherwise, it would be a shame for a grown man to spend his days learning sarcastic tricks..."

Kangxi, who was standing outside the door and eavesdropping, said: "..."

He didn't expect that when the two met privately, Yinzhi was sarcastic to Yinreng. No wonder Yinreng was annoyed with him.

Kangxi had actually been there for a while, but he had been hiding in the dark and was not discovered by his two sons.

He also roughly observed the process of Dahata teaching Yinzhi.

You wouldn't know unless you compared them. Once you compare them, you will find that Yinreng's brain is indeed much more useful than Yinzhi's.

Yinzhi also blamed his father for not making his eldest son the crown prince. With his brain, even if he was made the crown prince, he would not be able to stay in the position for long.

Kangxi stayed for a while. Seeing that his two sons were eating happily, he felt a little hungry too, so he took his people back to the warm room.

Little did he know that his action made Liang Jiugong and others cry with pleasure from the cold.

Kangxi himself had a cloak, a hot water bottle, and shoes made of deerskin and velvet, wrapping himself tightly from inside to outside. How could the eunuchs have such good equipment?

Besides, even if they had it, they wouldn't dare use it in front of Kangxi.

Every minute Kangxi spent looking outside the study door was a minute longer for them to suffer.

In the afternoon, after Yinreng and Yinzhi finished their horse riding and archery class together, Kangxi came to the study at a fixed time to check their homework.

The first one to ask was Yinreng.

Yinreng remained calm in the face of the tricky questions asked by Kangxi. After all, he had been living this way since he was a child, and he had experience in handling government affairs in his previous life. Those were the knowledge reserves he used to answer Kangxi's questions.

But Yinzhi was different.

He was originally glad that Yinreng ranked before him, the elder brother, and could set an example for him. However, after listening to the conversation between Kangxi and Yinreng, his mind was blank.

The second brother...what did he mean by that?

What does "A good army prepares its troops before they fight in battle, and a good general plans his attacks before they are defeated. Without waiting for the battle, the enemy will be immediately cleared of the flood..." mean?

Are you talking about going to the battlefield?

"Han Fei once said: If the work is in accordance with the task, and the work is in accordance with the words, then reward; if the work is not in accordance with the task, and the work is not in accordance with the words, then punish. Therefore, I believe that when employing people, we should not only look at what they say, but also what they do. If their words and deeds are consistent..."

Yinreng spoke eloquently and expressed his views.

Cold sweat gradually gathered on Yinzhi's forehead.

It’s not that he completely didn’t understand, but most of the time, he seemed to be listening to a foreign language?

Soon, Kangxi listened to Yinreng's answer, nodded and praised him.

"good."

Then his gaze turned to Yinzhi.

"Yinzhi."

Yinzhi shuddered and said hurriedly,

"My son is here."

“How do we uphold the righteous and set aside the crooked?”

Yinzhi: "Those who are good at employing people will also be good at getting things done... uh..."

"Choose the upright and discard the crooked, and you will make the crooked upright..."

"That's enough. I'm asking you how you would select people to govern the country if you were king, not asking you to endorse me."

Yinzhi understood, but he was not good at speaking in roundabout ways, so he answered in Manchu,
